A 2-time Olympic medalist, Grant Holloway has been carrying his image as one of the prominent sprinters of today. Painting a major picture of himself in the track and field industry through major wins of his professional career. But to a surprise, Grant’s involvement in sports not only showed his interest in sprinting but also included different sports.

Before becoming a sprinting star, the American hurdler and sprinter gained prominence as a football player in Virginia as a 3-star recruit. However, his skills as a sprinter gained momentum through practice with his first participation in the 110-meter hurdles race performing a jump of 13.51. Carrying forward his college commitment to Florida Gators allowed him to nurture his career in sprinting donning unbeatable records with eight wins in NCAA competitions. Breaking the collegiate record to become the best college track and field star since 2010, Grant Holloway’s record has now seen a threat.

Grant Holloway ticked by NCAA emerging stars

Having experienced major recognition for 14 years, Grant Holloway is now in competition with the emerging young sprinters of today. Gaining recognition as the 2nd All-Time Sprinter in the 110m hurdles event in 2021, the career milestone is now in threat because of two NCAA upcoming stars of the track and field industry representing their respective college eligibility.

Purdue University sprinter Cameron Miller and Virginia Tech sprinter Judson Lincoln take the top 5 list of all-time NCAA players following their recent win in a 300-meter event. Cameron takes the fifth position with a 32.43 seconds record in the event. Judson, on the other hand, takes the third position with a record of 32.37 seconds in the event.

Tricked by youngsters like these, Grant Holloway makes his remarks on the news set out by the two college sprinters. Although receiving such setbacks news, the sprinter instead of feeling defeat expressed his excitement on how much he feels proud of their achievement while tagging himself as their relative. “I got booted from the all-time list thanks to these two goofballs. I’m ticked, but I’m also their ridiculously proud uncle.” Despite the drawback, Grant Holloway’s recognition from the 2021 event comes as a milestone of his professional career. The 110 hurdles record has gained him quite a prominence in the track and field industry.

Grant 110-meter hurdler recognition

Claiming the title of the greatest 110-meter hurdlers of all time, the reigning world champion’s performance took over the attention all over himself. In the semifinal heat of the 2021 U.S. Olympics Trials, Grant’s fastest time of 12.81 display made his prominence, followed by his final Tokyo Olympics performance, claiming a silver medal win that took the growth of his professional career to new heights.

Taking over the same passion and skills displayed, his second Olympic appearance this year set him with the second-fastest record of his career and fourth-fastest time in history. His participation in the 110-meter hurdles with a record of 18.86 at the U.S. Olympics Trials saw him with a clear passage for the Paris Games. As expected by him, the sprinter gave out his best, getting the second Olympic win, this time a gold win in the same event but with a time of 12.99 seconds.

A three-time world champion and the first-ever collegiate sprinter to win three indoor straight wins along with three outdoor high hurdles titles, Grant Holloway, recognized even after his career milestone getting a setback, holds prominence as one of the best 110m hurdles sprinter currently with no tough competition faced under his category yet.
